Honey CSA
Just like our Summer CSAs but specific to our locally raised, ethically harvested honey. Our hives are treated with the utmost care A Honey CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) is a seasonal subscription program where members support a local beekeeper in exchange for a share of the honey harvest. By purchasing a share ($125/share) at the beginning of the season, members help cover the costs of hive maintenance, equipment, and bee care, and in return receive jars of fresh, locally harvested honey throughout the year. This model strengthens connections between the community and local agriculture while supporting pollinator health and sustainable beekeeping practices.
What do I get with my Honey CSA?

This is your opportunity to get creative. Choose your hive's name and we can either label your hive or you have the option to do that yourselves. ​

Invitation to be present upon your hive’s installation.

When the bee packages arrive in the Spring, we will let you know what day we will be transferring them to their hive on our property. You can be present to gain knowledge, name your hive, and get to know your beekeepers. ​

Am I Guaranteed to receive honey?
We have learned that nothing is ever guaranteed - especially when farming! Being a CSA member means sharing the risk and the rewards with the beekeeper. If your hive fails or swarms throughout the season, we will do our best to rear a new queen and start a fresh hive. We will use honey from our own hives to supplement the honey harvest for you. Although it is not a guarantee, we are confident each CSA member can receive at least a 1/2 gallon of honey at the end of the season.
When do I receive my honey?
You will be invited to our Honey Hoopla event which is when we harvest honey at the end of August or beginning of September depending on weather and conditions. At that time, you will receive a small jar of honey from your hive. The rest of the honey will be strained of wax and other particles, jarred safely, and available for pick up by mid to end of September.
How much does it cost?
The cost for the 2026 season is $125. This covers the cost of the bees, which are procured locally, equipment, installation, maintenance, health, and replacement of hive if it fails.
Custom farm boxes can be available a la carte depending on availability of product. Please call or email Candice to begin your custom order:
